Time spent in Nature, just being a human

Nature is Transcendence. I'm in awe of all the greenery, the flowing waters, the rippling still water, the back waters, the sea and all the chirping and tweeting and chittering of Songbirds and the ShoreBirds and various other birds and creatures I witnessed during a week spent in nature, in Kerala. The rolling hills and valleys covered in huge forest of little Tea trees.

Shades of green, blue skies and peaceful meadows and sigh of winds whispering "come to me and be at rest".

Although there's only so much peace and quite you can have when travelling with a 4 year old :)

It filled me with a sense of calm and pure joy to see his eyes light up looking at all the beauty his tender mind can observe and absorb... something his heart and mind will carry along.

Nature is a perpetual gift; as I get older, I find myself increasingly humbled by simply existing within its presence.

I'm really looking forward to paint out all the beauty resting in my heart and memory.

Embracing the gift

Do you ever look at your hands and wonder, what a beautiful gift. Your hands are capable of flowing through time and space at your pace.

Whether it's in the brushstrokes across a canvas, nimble fingers dancing across strings and keys... words flowing onto a page.. leading to a Poem, a hearty meal for a loved one, or a warm embrace.

Creating is an innate part of being human; it's not confined to the realm of artists alone. The act of crafting something out of nothing, whether tangible or fleeting, is a testament to our creative essence.

And the beauty lies not just in the act of creation but also in the experience of witnessing the creativity of others; each creation is a glimpse into someone's soul, a manifestation of their unique voice and essence.

So, the next time we gaze at our hands, let's revel in the charming potential and connection of our hands, minds, and hearts to hold, share, and embrace.

Here's to a year filled with the creation of wonders with our hands and joining them in our grateful quiet moments.
